Boost your career with Continuing Education courses in trades and technology

Release Date: August 11, 2017

When you think of the trades, certain careers may come to mind such as construction workers, plumbers, welders. Camosun’s Continuing Education can help you get a taste of these in our six-week Trades Exploration course. But did you know we also offer cutting edge upgrading courses to keep trades and technology workers’ skills relevant?

Our Continuing Education trades and technology courses help you build in-demand skills and certifications to stay current and even give you an edge over other employees in the Victoria market. No matter what stage you’re at in your career, here are three reasons to take a trades and technology course at Camosun:

Add an in-demand skill to your toolbox

Take your career to the next level with a new skill that employers are seeking. If you’re looking to get started in the construction industry, spend a weekend learning the health and safety essentials of traffic control in our government-approved Flagperson Training. If you’re interested in working indoors, three levels of Building Service Worker courses can provide the basics of working in the custodial field – and the Building Service Supervisor intensive workshop can help you make the move off the floor and into a leadership role.

Take the next step towards a promotion

Time and experience on the job no longer guarantee a promotion. You may need to return to the classroom to make a move up the ladder. By learning a software program such as AutoCAD, which is used in the construction and civil engineering industries, you can build the skills to make a transition. Similarly, if you’re an experienced mechanic, you can consider our authorized Vehicle Inspector Certification to advance your skillset.
